A schoolgirl who died after a reported case of Strep A has been named locally.
Stella-Lily McCorkindale, aged five, became unwell from the bacterial infection that is sweeping across the UK.
The tragedy comes as HSE director of national health protection, Dr Eamonn O'Moore, said Strep A is being investigated as one of the possible causes in the death of a four-year-old child in the north-east Dublin region.
